We know, it sounds embellished, but people are truly buying scented candles more than ever before and the market&#8217;s <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/scented-candles-market-size-to-reach-545-2-million-by-2025--cagr-8-4-grand-view-research-inc-300994125.html\">experiencing a rapid growth rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But really, it\u2019s no surprise. Scented candles are being used for aromatherapy, meditation, and overall relaxation\u2014things we\u2019re all trying to get more of these days, with most of us being at home. Plus, they assist in creating a calming ambiance that helps our homes feel cozy and safe.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the mere mention of candles conjures feelings of warmth and nostalgia. Think of songs like \u201cSomewhere In My Memory\u201d from Home Alone, in which the first line goes \u201ccandles in the window\u201d, helping to immediately cast the sentimental tone of the song.<\/p>\n<p>Candles transform a room from static to alive with the simple flicker of flame, evoking our visual and olfactory senses at the same time. They figuratively and literally provide warmth, while adding the tiniest bit of luxury to our homes!<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s not obvious by now, we love candles and candle fundraisers. Here are some more reasons why!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-833576036\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1368126456\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"950\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ohs-cheer-team.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"OHS cheeleading team\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ohs-cheer-team.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ohs-cheer-team-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ohs-cheer-team-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h4>Oregon High School Cheerleaders Raised Over $4,000 Profit With Candles!<\/h4>\n<p>We sold <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/quote-candles.html\">quote candles<\/a> to raise money to purchase new uniforms.

Seven, to be exact! So finding one to fit your group and community\u2019s needs should be no problem, and almost all of them are available to sell online. Here\u2019s a look at a few of our favorites.<\/p>\n<h3><a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/quote-candles.html\">Quote Candle Fundraiser<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>As our #1 selling candle fundraiser, Quote Candles feature an uplifting quote on each label and are suited for any and every fundraising occasion. Each 12oz candle is hand-poured in the USA with natural blended wax, and offered in a range of 8 comforting scents. Only $15 each, and your group earns 50% profit!<\/p>\n<h3><a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/journey-of-faith.html\">Journey of Faith Candles<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A similar fundraiser to our Quote Candles, Journey of Faith candles are the #1 choice of church groups. The only difference between the two programs is instead of inspirational quotes, J.O.F. candles feature biblical titles and verses, and a slightly different selection of aromas.<\/p>\n<h3><a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/10-dollar-candle-fundraiser.html\">$10 Candle Collection<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>At only $10 each, this candle fundraiser features 6 popular aromas that are hand-poured in 8oz canning jars. It\u2019s a great fundraiser for a community with varied income levels or to pair with another product fundraiser, like <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/cookie-dough.html\">cookie dough<\/a>!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-large row-solid\"  id=\"row-904541066\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-6713810\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n  <div class=\"icon-box testimonial-box icon-box-left text-left\">\n                <div class=\"icon-box-text p-last-0\">\n          <div class=\"star-rating\"><span style=\"width:100%\"><strong class=\"rating\"><\/strong><\/span><\/div>  \t\t\t\t<div class=\"testimonial-text line-height-small italic test_text first-reset last-reset is-italic\">\n            \n<h3>We Raised Over $2,000 Profit!<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0<a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/journey-of-faith.html\">Journey Of Faith candle fundraiser<\/a>\u00a0was great.

Whether it\u2019s a gift for yourself (there\u2019s no better excuse than a fundraiser!) or for others, a candle is a simple offer that\u2019s always appreciated. Plus, almost all of our candles come packaged in a gift box, so you\u2019re more than halfway there!<\/p>\n<p>Remind your group that buying a candle to gift to someone is a key selling point. Because of this, candle fundraisers are well suited for gift-giving holidays like Christmas, Mother\u2019s Day, Valentine\u2019s Day, and Easter.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. the Christmas season may have just ended, but it\u2019s never too late to start thinking about next year! We have the perfect <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/christmas-scents-candles.html\">Holiday Art Candle Collection<\/a> fundraiser for your group to check out for 2021.<\/p>\n<h2>Candle Fundraisers Are Versatile!<\/h2>\n<h3>Pair It Up<\/h3>\n<p>Our variety of candle programs allows you to be more versatile with how you execute your fundraiser. For example, you could pair our $10 Candle program with another product fundraiser like cookie dough or popcorn!<\/p>\n<p>Offering more than one item can often entice supporters to buy more. Maybe three candles feels superfluous, but a tub of cookie dough and two candles feels more reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, offering two different product fundraisers will give your supporters a choice, and a higher likelihood of them buying at least one thing.<\/p>\n<h3>Candle Party, Anyone?<\/h3>\n<p>Another idea is to host a candle party where supporters browse through candle catalogs over food and drinks in the comfort of someone\u2019s home. We\u2019re borrowing this idea from the iconic tupperware and candle parties of decades past, but these worked for a reason!<\/p>\n<p>Not only do people feel more comfortable making purchases when they\u2019re with friends, they know they\u2019re being invited in hopes that they\u2019ll buy something to support your fundraiser. The end result is a fun and social evening, where you\u2019ve made some sales and had a good time.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend our <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/candles\/touch-of-elegance-iii.html\">Touch of Elegance III<\/a> program for a candle party. Its gorgeous brochure offers a selection of 27 luxurious items, from diffusers to candles of every variety.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-478350404\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-918703500\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"message-box relative dark\" style=\"padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:15px;\"><div class=\"message-box-bg-image bg-fill fill\" ><\/div><div class=\"message-box-bg-overlay bg-fill fill\" ><\/div><div class=\"container relative\"><div class=\"inner last-reset\">\n<div class=\"row align-middle align-center\"  id=\"row-1365313549\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2116631261\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time To Get Started!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ready to start planning your candle fundraiser?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like us to help you get started with your next fundraiser, or if you would like more information:<\/p>\n<p>Please call us toll free and speak to one of our amazing and friendly staff at<\/p>\n<p>Toll-Free 1-888-440-4114 or email us <a href=\"mailto:helpdesk@justfundraising.com\"><u>helpdesk@justfundraising.com<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1505385504\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:20px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img width=\"795\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Justfundraising staff picture\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic.jpg 795w, https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic-768x203.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1505385504 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We think candle fundraisers are an awesome idea, and if it&#8217;s not obvious in the first few paragraphs, you&#8217;ll definitely know why by the end!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[1730,1145,2072,992,474,2498,463,2143,2412,500],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4630"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4630"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4654,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4630\/revisions\/4654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4630"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=4630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
